Altera the Hun Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Johan genuinely scares me. Johann is pretty damn screwed up, yeah, but he actually gets worse as the series goes on- Not because his actions are getting worse, but because you find out all the absolutely ATROCIOUS things he's done over the years.

Ar-Wing Pilot Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Tampa Bay actually won a cup, and no one gave a shit. Or so you'll hear. Except that, guess what, they have good TV market, decent attendance, and the like despite being a losing team since. Like how 'no one cared about Carolina'. And that's why they have actually a really decent fanbase. I guess Brett Favre could've learned a thing or two from that. Too true.

Then again, a lot of Ohio NHL fans seem to loathe the Blue Jackets and will cheer for pretty much anyone else, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, bad or not, that's abnormal... where? That's not Canada or absolutely northmost US? Because they... suck? Maybe? And have never been good?

Altera the Hun Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well, having been raised in the Metro Detroit area... That might have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ar-Wing Pilot Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well, having been raised in the Metro Detroit area... That might have something to do with it. In the days where the Red Wings were bigger than they are now. Yeah. I mean, you want proof? You know the Coyotes, and how they're apparently 'such a small market' and such? They were one of the best in attendance in their early years. And then they sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Because they... suck? Maybe? And have never been good? They made the playoffs once. Like Atlanta. Both lost in four games, but they made the playoffs ONCE in their existence each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were one of the best in attendance in their early years. And then they sucked. I think I know the problem. The arena is in Scottsdale, which is a suburb of Phoenix. Consider that Phoenix is the fifth most populated city in the USA. Now, consider the time it would take to go to Scottsdale with all the traffic. That should explain a bit why the arena is in a very bad area. I mean New Jersey gets little attendance all the time despite (usually) having winning teams because they're in the shadow of New York and Philly.

Atlanta had a lead for about 1:20 in the entire series, I believe. I think I know the problem. The arena is in Scottsdale, which is a suburb of Phoenix.

Lived there, was there when they moved. Problem is, it's on the other end of Phoenix than where most of the population is. The arena location hurts, yes.

The people in Edmonton also want a new arena, but I believe the construction site would have the same problem too.

They're the absolute last team I'd want to be in that has the vaguest shot. Even above Carolina, Buffalo, and Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Lou was a bit slow on this whole thing. Imagine if he came back behind the bench after a month. I mean Barry Melrose only lasted 15 games in Tampa.
